"I just don't see it," your friend's lip curls up in distaste.
You roll your eyes because you're sick of having this same stupid conversation. "Luckily for you, you don't have to."
Sensing your rapidly growing anger, your friend drops the malicious comments she usually sends your way, and her face morphs to one of sympathy instead. "I just don't want you to get hurt. You know his reputation."
It takes a moment for you to find internal peace, and once you do, you look at her with a blank face. There are only so many times you can hear people talking badly about Sunwoo before you snap. If one more person tells you that Sunwoo is going to break your heart, you refuse to be held accountable for your future actions.
From the beginning, you knew what they said about him. "He leaves a trail of heartbreak." "He only cares about himself." "He'll leave you behind the second someone better comes along." Fine. Whatever. They can say it all they want, but to you, it's all bullshit.
Even if everything they say about him ends up being true, you couldn't stop the way you feel about him unless the gods themselves rewrote fate. He's your sun. Your flame. Warmth.
Arms wrap around you from behind and you feel yourself pulled against a solid chest. Turning your head to the side, you find Sunwoo giving you his signature smirk. The smirk responsible for a thousand broken hearts, and maybe someday a thousand and one.
For now, you let yourself sink into his embrace. Feeling safe, secure, and most importantly, loved. Sunwoo is your person, just as much as you are his. Even if that changes in the future, you'll never regret him and what the two of you shared.
